we continue to wait for white house spokesman jay carney. he is expected to start his daily briefing any minute now. no doubt today a great deal of that briefing will be devoted to three different things. the first being the suspicious letter that was sent to president obama that was intercepted at an off-site mail facility. also a suspicious package at senator shelby's office. his office firming that officials have cleared the hallway in the russell office building as they investigate what's being described, and senator roger wicker, the letter that initially tested positive for ricin, officials are saying that the letter sent to the president is very similar to the one that was sent to senator roger wicker as well. i want to bring in pete williams, our justice correspondent standing by for us in d.c. pete, again, for folks who are just joining us, i think once again it's probably a good idea to stress the fact that there is at this point according to officials no connection between these letters and what happened in boston. is that correct
